Brooklyn claims his family are obsessed with fame and that ‘Brand Beckham’ comes ahead of family relationships.
He also said he felt controlled growing up and was left with overwhelming anxiety.
Myleene took to Instagram to share a post that suggests Brooklyn’s feelings are being overlooked or dismissed because of his status.
The former Hear’Say singer, who is mum to Ava, 18, Hero, 14 and Apollo, six, wrote, “After the memes and mockery, there’s this for us all to consider…,” over the top of a post titled, “What is estrangement?”
FAMILY WAR
‘Extreme and alarming’ warning sign that sparked Beckhams’ concern for Brooklyn

It reads: “When a family member chooses distance, either emotionally or physically, because the relationship feels unsafe, harmful or impossible to repair.
“Society often frames adult-children who go ‘no-contact’ as spoilt, ungrateful, or as betraying their family.
“In higher socio-economic families, there is often an assumption that ‘everything they did/paid for’ guarantees lifelong gratitude and obedience.
“This Authoritarian view on parent-child relationships is the reason we position adult-children who go ‘no contact’ as the problem, rather than acknowledging the deeper relational issues that are at play.”
It isn’t the first time Myleene has spoken out publicly against Victoria and her parenting choices.
In 2014, she slammed the Beckhams for allowing their then teenage son to grace the cover of a glossy magazine that could potentially open him up to criticism.

Brooklyn, who was 15, was the cover star of Man About Town.
Myleene said at the time: “Why would you put them on the front line where they are going to get attacked? They’re still kids, let them be kids!”
She also questioned why the parents would let their kids appear in high profile fashion shoots at young ages too, with son Romeo modelling for Burberry when he was just 11.
“I personally wouldn’t let my child,” continued Myleene. “But I think it’s an exception to the rule – they’re the Beckhams!
“They’ve got a force field around them where everyone can look after them, but your average Joe will get that barrage of trolls, comments and critiques.”
But those fears were allayed by Man About Town editor Ben Reardon who praised Brooklyn as “diligent and relaxed.”
Meanwhile, there has been a silver lining of sorts from the nuclear family fallout that has seen Brooklyn accuse Victoria of ruining his wedding by dancing inappropriately and branding him “evil” over the seating plan.
The singer and fashion designer Victoria has seen her songs rocket up the charts as supporters back her by playing her music.
Her solo single Not Such An Innocent Girl, which was originally released in 2001, is number two on the UK iTunes chart and number one on the Irish iTunes chart.
It comes after a fan-driven social media campaign which aims to “fix the national tragedy” that “Victoria is the only Spice Girl without a solo #1”.
The Beckhams will be in a tailspin – here’s why there is no going back
By Ellie Henman
Brooklyn Beckham has delivered what can only be described as the single most damaging blow ever to David and Victoria Beckham, albeit the whole Beckham family, with that explosive statement. But where do the family go from here?
Victoria and David are very much never complain, never explain. They are very much like the Royals in that sense. They will be in an absolute tailspin this morning because this is so damaging. This is a brand, this is a family unit they have built. They love their children dearly. They’ve always protected their happiness and tried to protect their privacy as much as possible. This has just blown every single thing apart.
Do I think the Beckhams are going to come out and say anything? No, I don’t. I think they’re going to say nothing. But I think one thing we can guarantee is there is definitely no going back now.
I think Brooklyn doesn’t want to go back. I think David and Victoria were always really open to reconciliation and I believe they probably still are. But this is so incredibly hurtful of Brooklyn to do so publicly.
Every single time I see an Instagram post by Brooklyn, his followers comment saying: ‘Call your parents!’ I wonder now if those people might have changed their minds and may be backing Brooklyn a bit more? Or are people are still going to be team Victoria and David?
It’s a tough one, but this is explosive and I actually still cannot believe what has happened.
